Piece Comment

Review of The Itinerant Rabbi


This piece is lovely and delicate. The title is misleading. This is less a story of a wandering Jew than an intimate portrait of a community ending, with all the tragedy and pathos that brings with it. For such a short piece, Philip Graitcer manages to take his time. Although, for such a short piece, it strangely takes 2 minutes before we actually hear the rabbi herself interviewed. Nevertheless this is nicely done and an excellent addition to any weekend magazine program.
